Faces Places (2017)

Faces Places (France, 2017, 94m)

89-year old Agnes Varda, one of the leading figures of the French New Wave, and acclaimed 33-year-old French photographer and muralist JR teamed up to co-direct this road movie. Kindred spirits, they share a lifelong passion for images and how they are created, displayed and shared.

Together they travel around the villages of France in JR’s photo truck meeting locals, learning their stories and producing epic-size portraits of them. The photos are prominently displayed on houses, barns, storefronts and trains revealing the humanity in their subjects, and in themselves.

The 12th annual Riverside Saginaw Film Festival is scheduled for Nov. 8-11, 2018 at The Court Theatre, Pit and Balcony Community Theatre, Hoyt Library, First Congregational Church and, the Castle Museum.

Independent, foreign, classic, documentary films will show at the venues.
